暗涌

就算天空再深　
看不出裂痕　
眉头仍聚满密云
就算一屋暗灯　
照不穿我身　
仍可反映你心

让这口烟跳升　
我身躯下沉　
曾多么想多么想贴近
你的心和眼口和耳亦没缘份　
我都捉不紧

害怕悲剧重演　
我的命中命中
越美丽的东西我越不可碰
历史在重演　
这么烦嚣城中　
没理由相恋可以没有暗涌
其实我再去爱惜你又有何用　
难道这次我抱紧你未必落空

仍静候着你说我别错用神
什么我都有预感
然后睁不开两眼　
看命运光临
然后天空又再涌起密云

Undercurrents

Even when the sky is so deep
That its fissures can’t be seen,
Clouds hang low over my brow.
And even when the room’s light is so dim
That I cannot be seen,
Your feelings shine bright.

I feel myself sink
As a puff of your smoke raises.
Before, I so wanted to get closer to you
Yet now I feel nothing for your ears, lips, eyes, and heart
There’s nothing there I can hold onto.

I’m afraid that the tragedy will play out again.
And that’s my fate–
The more beautiful something is, the less I take a chance.
Here in this annoyingly busy city
History repeats itself.
There’s no way we can love each other if there’s no undercurrents of feelings.
What point is there in cherishing you again?
It’s difficult to believe that I wouldn’t be embracing you in vain.

I’m quietly waiting for you to tell me to not think about it so much,
Though I’ve a premonition of how this will go.
And I’ll be unable to open my eyes
To see fate coming
And dense clouds again fill the sky.

Undercurrents

Even if the sky gets deeper
The cracks couldn’t be seen
Dense clouds still loom over my brows
Even a room of dim light is
Unable to illuminate me
It can still reflect your heart
As this puff of smoke floats up, my body sinks down
I had really, really wanted to move closer
Yet I have no affinity with your heart and eyes, lips and ears
I cannot hold onto them

‘fraid that tragedy will repeat itself
In my life, my life
The more beautiful something is, the more I cannot touch
History is repeating itself
In this bustling city
How can there be no undercurrents [1] in love
What’s the point if I cherish you once more
Is it that this time I wouldn’t be hugging you in vain

I’m still waiting quietly for you to say that I’m paranoid
But I have this intuition
Then I couldn’t open my eyes to watch Fate arrive
And then the sky is surging with dense clouds again
